      Yeah, I remember back when depressive humor was funny because it was sad. Then, a few things happened in the last decade and now it’s funny because it’s true.

      It was either 2016 or 2019. It was either making a politician out of Trump or COVID. That’s when I started to realise how fucked I am and stared anticipating death.

      Have you been living under a rock? Everything is bad, at least here in the US.

      There are plenty of people who are still into future building. But, indeed, a lot of the west is falling into decadence.

      But I still see enough spark to hope it will reignite. With a better experience.

      According to this theory https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strauss–Howe_generational_theory (see the timings section)

      We are at the end of the crisis cycle. The last crisis cycle was WW2.

      So shit is about to get really fucking real in a hot minute, but we should then move to a better time - an awakening.

        Yea sorry bud

        while others have criticized the theory as being overly deterministic, unfalsifiable,

        This is where I stand on this. If you can’t provide evidence against something then it’s not science

          Agree it’s probably bullshit, just a pattern. It only resonated with me because it seems to track with my sentiment, but I have little hope that it’s about to get shit and get better.

          I do expect it to get more shit.
